First Annual Kosher Food & Wine Atlanta Festival

Catering at VIP dinner provided by A Kosher Touch.

An
avant-garde feast for the senses featuring aerial acrobatics, electronic music
and a dazzling array of gourmet cuisine comprised the first annual Kosher Food &
Wine Atlanta festival on Thursday, a celebration of the richness and range of
kosher food available for local consumers. Royal Wine, one of the largest wine
importers in the U.S. supplied more than hundred varieties of international
wines for the inaugural event.

Presented
by Chabad of Georgia as it marks 30 years of Jewish outreach in the area, the
cocktail and dinner party was held at the Historic Georgia Railroad Freight
Depot, which was transformed by Track Seven Events into an edgy, trendy
atmosphere, presenting multiple floors of food, an elevated D.J. spinning
electronic beats and a Cirque-du-Soleil style performance of aerialists
twirling through the air.

Some 600 people attended Kosher Food & Wine Atlanta, which
featured 30 caterers, restaurateurs and grocery chains to beckon tasters into
the sensory feast. In addition, the festival honored Chef Sandra Bank, whose
catering business has served Atlantans the promise and power of exquisite
kosher dining for nearly 20 years. Bank was feted with a hand-blown glass award
signaling her creativity in elevating kosher cuisine and, as her slogan puts
it, “making the ordinary extraordinary.”
